Mario Vargas Llosa se ha distinguido como crítico literario. En este apretado compendio le da vida a un grupo de clásicos de la literatura mundial penetrando ágilmente en el estilo del autor, la época de la novela y detalles relevantes sobre la misma.

By Maria A. Simpson - April 23, 2013

This is a very well written book by Mario Vargas Llosa, Peruvian writer. His exquisite use, and selection of the most fascinating words that so well describe a moment, a feeling, a situation, a narrative that lets you see without seeing, smell without smelling, touch without touching, imagine, so well what he is trying to describe in his book.You can feel his personality through his books. He writes about life, and people.
